China's Shenzhen plans 'orderly' work resumption, COVID vigilance

China's technology hub of Shenzhen will allow firms to resume work in an 'orderly' manner after the restriction of non-essential businesses in an effort to contain an outbreak of COVID-19, a city official said Thursday. Shenzhen, close to Hong Kong, reported 71 new local confirmed transmissions on Wednesday, up from 55 the previous day. While the outbreak is small by international standards, authorities are leaving nothing to chance.
